Israel denies killing militants
2002-11-27
Then who the hell were they? Oh... They just mean those two 'militants.'
Israeli officials denied Wednesday killing local commanders of Hamas and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the Jenin refugee camp. Palestinian medical sources identified the two as Allah Sabagh, the regional commander of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a military offshoot of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement; and Imad Nasharti, the regional head of the Izzedine al Qassam, the military wing of Hamas. The men were killed when the house they were in exploded.
Shucks. Dontcha hate it when that happens?
The two had been on the Israel Defense Forces' wanted list for some time. Some witnesses reported seeing planes overheard, and Israeli tanks were also in the region at the time. However, Israeli commanders said they had nothing to do with the explosion.
"Hey, Imad! Hold this spring down for me for a minute, wouldja?"
"Sure!"
"No, not that spring! The other — "

#3  Once again, Fred devines the truth:
"Kadoura Moussa, a Fatah leader in the Jenin area, on Wednesday backed off initial claims that the two were killed in an Israeli missile strike. "Apparently, it was an explosion inside the room," Moussa said.

Israeli military officials said the army was not involved. The officials said the explosion could have been set off by other security forces, or could have been a "work accident" by the militants preparing a bomb.

#2  The IDF should take credit, if when the splodeydopes blow themselves up. Give those still living fear that the IDF sees/kills all.
